Fabric & Hooping
At about 34.4 stitches/cm² this is an open, low-density fill, so it sits happily on quilting cotton, linen or lightweight shirting with a single layer of tear-away behind it. At 141.4 × 78.0 mm reach for a 5×7 in hoop.
Thread Colors in This Design
DST files store stitch data but no thread information, so the colors below are our suggested DMC match. Swap in whatever you have in a similar shade:
- 780 Ultra Very Dark Topaz
- 704 Bright Chartreuse
- 645 Very Dark Beaver Gray
- 561 Very Dark Jade
Stitching Notes
With 4 colors and 5 changes you can pre-wind the whole set before you start and never leave the machine. DST stores stitch data only, which is why the color list is a suggestion rather than the digitizer's original choice.
What to Make With It
Lettering at this size suits shirt cuffs and collars, pockets, tote panels and towel borders — anywhere a name or initial needs to sit cleanly on a flat surface. Keep the backing firm so the strokes hold their shape.
